Fact: A Ban on Bread
In 1943, America was embroiled in World War II, and the government sought ways to conserve resources and reduce waste. One of the most surprising measures they took was banning sliced bread. The ban, which lasted for several months, prohibited bakeries from selling pre-sliced bread.
